Upcoming Online Events
Lenten gatherings begins Tuesday, February 16.
Joan Chittister holds that “Lent is a summons to live anew.”
We invite you to join us for a 6 week journey through the Lenten season. Joan Chittister will be our guide for the shared journey. She has written six brief but powerful reflections, one for each of the Sunday scripture readings in Lent.
Sister Joan offers us insight into how “living anew” might look in these extraordinary times of pandemic and political upheaval.
She also introduces six companions—one for each week of Lent—to walk with us during these 40 days of spiritual renewal.
Each “companion” embodies a special quality for spiritual growth:
Week 1, Feb. 16: Thomas Merton brings the gift of contemplation;
Week 2, Feb. 23: Teresa of Avila, the gift of prayer;
Week 3, March 2: Rachel Carson, the gift of awe of creation;
Week 4, March 9: Oscar Romero, the gift of prophecy;
Week 5: March 16: Sojourner Truth, the gift of joy;
Week 6: March 23: Mother Jones, the gift of speaking your truth.

When the Spirit Moves
Discovering Grace in Motion
Join us in a gentle exploration of the divine gifts found in movement and feeling. In these times of increased isolation, let’s celebrate the mystic body that animates and unites us!
This mini zoom retreat will include subtle movement, meditation, contemplative reflection, and time for sharing. Our morning together is an opportunity to revive and deepen our participation with life’s mystery.
FACILITATORS:
Helen Lowe and Stephen Podry work both jointly and separately with individuals, couples, and groups. Using meditative inquiry and creative expression, they facilitate close encounters with the mystery of being.
Stephen taught and directed arts-based literacy and parenting programs for incarcerated mothers, for 14 years. A musician and writer, he currently offers arts-based services for working with grief and creating a meaningful bridge between the seen and the unseen.
Helen is a storyteller, facilitator, and creative chameleon. Her contemplative relationship with the Enneagram uncovered new insights into this sacred geometry of human personality. She shares this evolving Enneagram in private consultation and in a forthcoming book.
Date and Times: Saturday, February 6, 9AM - 12:30PM
Fee: $30.00, partial and full scholarships available upon request.
